Daily delivery.

Every day a shot of caffeine gets delivered while the sun also rises. But more important, more pervasive, more wonderful is our house.

Our house delivers fantastic feelings of security, comfort, and enjoyment every day.

It’s the “up north” home that I’m talking about. It’s still the locus of what we call home. While we did raise our children “down state” as we all acknowledge as roots, our grand kids know of no other place than what we now call home.

That’s important. Grandkids are the endearing present, and the dreams of the future. Five energetic, inquisitive, and very smart boys. No girls emerged from the wombs of our beautiful daughter-in-law Elizabeth nor from our daughter Heidi. But what a great bunch they are.

Back to the home. It’s getting cold up here in the north country. But, our home has a wonderful source of warmth, a colossal fireplace. Wood burning each day adds to the physical warmth and the intangible feeling of home.

So each day, upon waking up I get delivered to me a wonderful place called home.
